Educational equity - a moral imperative for the 21st century.
President Fuhrman Outlines the State of the College
TC President Fuhrman gave her 2009 State of the College Address on October 28th. Her theme was the College's impact - locally, nationally and internationally. The full transcript of her remarks follows.
Want to quit smoking? Video game designers at Teachers College hope that some day you will reach not for a cigarette, but a mobile game. TC announced Thursday that it has received a $150,000 grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF), through the foundation's Health Games Research national program, to explore how digital games can improve health.
New research from Teachers College centering on a unique social experiment undertaken by an entire county in upstate New York offers some of the strongest evidence to date that the "school readiness" of young children upon entering kindergarten can be dramatically improved by providing them with stronger non-academic social supports along with informal education at home.
Mourning the loss of a loved one is painful. But TC Professor of Clinical Psychology George Bonanno says that most people have an innate resilience that allows them to mourn and move on with their lives - and further, that they emerge better for the process.
The three winners of TC's Elaine Brantley Memorial Award for Community and Civility are Paul Acquaro, Director of the TC Web; Jacqueline Diaz-Solano, Director of Student Accounts; and James Rudolph, locksmith in the College's Facilities group.
